Jesus is my savior, but he also wants to be my shepherd. Obediently following him when I sence Him directing me. John 10: 27-28. Jesus says His sheep hear His voice and follow. Are we listening and following? Or are we making excuses?
He has plans and a purpose for me. For all of us who call Him Savior. It's not just to go to heaven when we pass on.
I know with all my heart, that one day I will be in heaven. But while I am here, I want to experience heaven on Earth in all the craziness. He wants me, and you, to experience that too.
Sometimes, at least for me, He will make me lie down. Those times that we wonder, why we are going through what we are not liking very much? But those are the times that He gets us, when we are done complaining, to look to Him. At least some do.
What sin remains? He wants every part of our life to mirror Jesus. To not call right, what He says is wrong. Proverbs 3: 11-12, I don't like being disciplined, but I know it's for my own good, and because He loves me. So how long I lie down while He restores my soul, is up to my obedience.
He will do whatever it takes to finishing verse 3, "He guides me in paths of righteousness FOR HIS NAME SAKE."
He is Holy, and He cares a great deal about cleaning us up. It's for "His Names sake."
For Your glory Lord
